Dawn comments,  "I built it primarily using Bob Boucher video. Though I'll have to sew the skin on a bit differently I think since his instruction is based on canvas, and the polyester is not going to give me any stretch to work with. The video is 'Build Your Own Sea Kayak! In a Traditional West Greenland Style' by Bob Boucher copyright 1993."  Contact information
